Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Dice 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and lightly golden.
- Step 2: Sprinkle 3 tbsp all-purpose flour over the chicken and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Simmer the filling for 3 minutes until the vegetables are warmed through.
- Step 4: Remove skillet from heat. Arrange biscuit dough pieces evenly on top of the filling. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
